Gasoline shortages hit Baghdad and regions
The gasoline crisis in Baghdad and the provinces has led to long queues at fuel stations due to a shortage of imported shipments, caused by tensions in the Arab Gulf and the electricity crisis that affected refinery production and increased demand. Sources expect imported shipments to arrive in Basra within 48 hours to help gradually resolve the crisis. Authorities criticize mismanagement and the absence of strategic reserves, while accusing smuggling factions of siphoning large quantities to boost the black market. This situation causes the gasoline crisis to recur with every regional tension or security escalation, prompting calls to strengthen oversight measures and secure strategic reserves to prevent painful scenes at fuel stations from happening again.
